exercises, i talked to the americans on the phone, it shows something, what does this show, what does this show, what does this show, i understand, it shows what they are trying to do, you know, and it’s not just what i would say, i would look at it and consider it in more detail in the context, not only the message that went from shoigu to the guest at a, as well as those messages that are now being spread in the european press, uh, through agents of influence, which say that uh, let putin leave, saving face, and actually here, what to talk about about unfortunately i have to interrupt you now with a moment of silence for all those who died in this war. well, today our country honors the memory of the victims of political repressions.

i am very sorry, mr. serhiy. unleashed by russia unpunished evil always returns

may 15 remembrance day for the victims of political repression we will be militarized and where the nosification of ukraine by liberation from imaginary nazis russia argues for its invasion of ukraine, which has already brought thousands victims among the peaceful inhabitants of the liberation is another misleading slogan of the russian occupiers, which comes from soviet mythology, because the return of the red army in 1943-1944 was also called the liberation of

ukraine, but the truth is that with the expulsion of the nazi occupiers, ukraine did not gain freedom, but found itself under the rule of another totalitarian regime which brought millions of victims, the expulsion of the nazis was accompanied by mass crimes of the stalinist regime, in the most dangerous areas of the front , they used black knights in a hurry mobilized local residents who were thrown into battle unprepared, unarmored, and often non -soviet soldiers were forced to fight against the national underground, which meant a fratricidal war between ukrainians and then mass repressions, purges , another artificial famine - the deportation of hundreds of thousands of people, decades of poverty, shortages, lies and propaganda. this is what brought the real will and freedom of the ukrainian people was held by the moscow liberation of ukraine only on august 24, 1991 with

the achievement of independence, and this is what gives peace moscow's putin liberators would prefer to free ukrainians. it is from ukraine and for this they do not spare women or children, they kill, rape and rob, in a word, they do what we always remember, we win. the aid of the usa and the west to the soviet union was insignificant, it did not affect the results of the war and the ussr managed without the help of the allies, we still won, this is a myth, in fact one of the decisive factors of the victory was the support of the union under

the lend-lease program - this is a us state program, it provided for the supply of weapons and ammunition to the allies of military equipment and other materials to return unused and not lost materials or to pay for them already after the war, the ussr began to receive supplies of polish lend-lease from the fall of 1941, the aid of the allies played a decisive role already in the battle for moscow, until the end of the war, the ussr received within the framework of lend-lease almost twice as many cars as he was able to produce red aces like oleksandr pokryshkin and amet khan sultan flew on american planes the union received help from the usa in everything from weapons explosives fuel steel and up to food products, canned meat alone received more than 2 billion cans

of training lasted the entire war and continued even after the defeat of germany to support the ussr in the war with japan . supplies of land lease, however, immediately after the end of the second world war, moscow preferred to forget about the help of the west. equipment in 2022. the united states again approves the lend-lease program, this time in ukraine. russia, which so diligently created the myth that it managed without lend- lease and without ukraine, is now fighting without lend-lease and against ukraine, we remember that we are winning

the memory of those who were involuntarily killed by the soviet system today is memorial day to the victims of political repressions this is an extremely significant and tragic date. to ukraine, mr. yuryu, mr. professor, they can't hear me very well yet, our editors are telling me. i hope now, in the near future, the connection will be stable and restored, and not to the professor, can you hear me? glory to ukraine glory to the heroes glory to you i hear you i 'm extremely happy for you well, although we understand that today is really one of of the most tragic dates, probably not completely understood, but fully felt by the entire ukrainian people. today we

honor the memory of the victims of political repressions, not stalinist repressions, because the repressions began to stalin with his death, unfortunately, it was not completed. and now i would like to give a small plot devoted to this sad date during the soviet era , tens of thousands of ukrainians were shot, hundreds of thousands went to prison, exiled camps, were forced to undergo psychiatric treatment, places of mass burials became regime objects of the kgb and access to relevant archives was prohibited; one of the symbols of political repression became the bykivny forest near kyiv, according to various sources , from 15 to over 100 thousand people found their final resting place here of persons tortured during interrogations or

extrajudicially shot by the nkvd bodies in kyiv, such bikinis actually existed near every regional center because it was a job actually put on the conveyor whose task was to eliminate the maximum number of people, we turned out thousands or millions of people were present, it is obvious that e- the nkvd then tried to cover up these traces in some way because they tried to blame all the crimes of communism on nazism, they talked in particular about the bullpen that soviet prisoners of war were the consequences of the communists according to the theory of the ukrainian ssr, almost 200,000 people were convicted, of which about two-thirds were sent to prisons and camps before being shot. the great terror was officially the beginning of the operational nakasinka of the ussr 00:447 on the repression of former kulaks, criminal criminals and other anti-soviet

elements, extrajudicial repressive units were created . bodies of regional triads to simplify the sentencing procedure it was a time of frequent fear and mistrust, night arrests, suspicions of colleagues, friends and relatives, a search for spies, fear of denunciations, wives and husbands of enemies people were subject to mandatory arrest, children under the age of 15 were sent to special orphanages , family members of enemies of the peoples sentenced to be shot were subject to forced resettlement in the internal regions of the ussr from october 27 to november 1937 in the sandarmok tract near the city of medvezhogorsk in karelia, 11,011 of them were shot 287 ukrainians and people whose fate is connected with ukraine among the executed prominent ukrainians theater director les kurbas composer hnat hotkevich artist mykhailo boychuk

playwright mykola kulish writer valerian undertaker scientist stepan rudnytskyi, after the end of the terror in 1938, the next step was the physical elimination of the direct organizers and executors of the great terror. after stalin's death, in the thaw years, the repressed were partially rehabilitated. however, the majority of citizens convicted on political charges did not receive full rehabilitation in 1991, in the last months of the ukrainian ssr the law on the rehabilitation of victims of political repression in ukraine was approved in 2015 ukraine condemned the crimes of the communist of the totalitarian regime, the law on the condemnation of the communist and nazi totalitarian regimes and the ban on the propaganda of their symbols made our transition to another level in relation to the communist regime to the

communist heritage, and it is no coincidence that ukraine is on the labor issue because no state in the world, no nation in the world suffered as many losses and did not suffer such tragedies from the communist regime as ukraine in 2018 the verkhovna rada adopted a law on amendments to some legislative acts of ukraine even before the improvement rehabilitation procedures for victims of the repressions of the communist totalitarian regime may 15 to 9 may 15 informational and analytical marathon on the espresso tv channel in full swing today we honor the memory of the victims of political repressions, we are talking with the legendary ukrainian researcher professor shapoval, because, professor, what is the key question for sure to everyone who thought about that horror, because it is about millions of people killed, and why why, why did the soviet

government, the bolshevik government, exterminate civilians so thoroughly. that is, it was a methodology. is it there were some sporadic, i don't know, attempts to follow the doctrine of ulyanov, lenin and the bolsheviks about the class struggle, did they still understand the purpose for which they were killing, you know, scientists are still arguing about the motivation of these mass shootings and this actually great terror that was started with the arrival of mykola yezhov he became people's commissar of internal affairs in september 1936, and his very appointment indicates that the authorities understood what they were doing. mykola yezhov was never a professional chekist, he was a professional party member an employee and he carried out stalin's instructions, that is, it was the world's line

of thought that on the people now about the motivation, one of the motivations was that the people who survived the collectivization of the holodomor who were condemned if we talk about this solovetsky episode they were coming to the end of their prison terms, and actually the 37th year could be the stage when they would normally be released and turn back and talk about what you didn't see. it's one moment and another. the moment is disbelief total mistrust of the authorities to what we now call the electorate. so the question and the question for the authorities was to clean this society from the remnants of those who could be real or potential in the opposition and this is the destruction of this so

-called fifth column, it is it formed the basis of this great terror. it consisted of different stages. in the plot, yezhov's order was mentioned about the extermination of kulaks and criminals. but the next steps of the regime were very interesting. the so-called polish operation was launched, one of the of the largest national operations, note these national operations that were then carried out during 37-38 years. they concerned almost all national minorities that were in the territory of the soviet union at that time. that is, it was such a mass, conscious, and completely planned, because there were divisions in the regions and it was specified how many people to destroy according to the first category according to the second, the first

category is shooting, and the second category is 10-15 years in the camps, if we talk specifically about solovki, this is a very painful topic for me. i am very grateful to you for mentioning this. i happened to be there at these commemorations in august . these dates are celebrated. the date of the victims of the solovetsky shootings is celebrated. i will only add to the list of exterminated ukrainian intellectuals the name of the brilliant ukrainian poet mykola zerov, who just as he died there, i gave several more figures who were integrated into the communist system, such as academician matvii yavorskyi, who was opposed to mykhailo hrushevskyi as a historian, but he ended up in the village and in solovki, he wrote an unprecedented statement that he refuses to park on

weekdays and hates this system, which he actually served before that. so it was there, there were a lot of party statesmen, as well as people who understood what a dark force they served because of these dogs i am only very important mr. professor, i agree with you on the other hand, we also understand that in this there was definitely an instrumental use of terror as a way of solving certain issues, that is, it was for example, there is the polish issue that was resolved by stalin in ukraine, yes, that is, it is about hundreds of thousands of people killed. it was a ukrainian issue in ukraine. that is, it sounds a bit tautological, but we understand that, for example, i personally saw a five-volume book published in this way, or the ogpu chnkvd where former officers were listed of petlyur's army and

workers, they were guided by such categories, and now we understand that this is not an accident. 100 years ago, what can happen now happened. god forbid, putin would have won that is, they drew up lists by which they followed and exterminated hundreds of thousands of people, absolutely, absolutely , exactly, you say because the protocols have been preserved. if we talk about these solovetsky shootings, well, this did not apply only to their protocols of the trio, which were elaborated there to one degree or another, then the topic of a separate conversation but what is correct is that people are registered in the soviet union, were the cysts a colossal potato? there were no computers then, but there was this accounting system that was used by people who, if we talk about ukraine, when one way or another connected by the structures of the central council. and these people were definitely on the record and whether after thus

, this destruction took place absolutely pannovo, and i also want to add that what the putin regime is creating today is absolutely this is the same approach . you know this from the news reports about the way they destroy the activists of those who participated, let's say, in the people's assembly of all ukraine, and whether the right to form ukrainian structures after the declaration of ukraine's independence is the same , only these structures are called there today otherwise, somehow the acb or whatever else they may be called, but at that time a summary of the dachshund was made and one more thing i want to say is that the most terrible thing in a very short period of time in the soviet union in 37-38 years was exterminated and repressed 1.5 million and a half a million there only imagine this number, of

them somewhere around 800,000 were shot. this was the whole technology of these shots. and i just saw yuriy dmitrivna there, you have a picture of these chronicles clearly, more accurately. yuriy dmitriv stood up, a historian from karelia, an expert became one of those who revealed the solovetsky tragedy, the place revealed the place of death 11011 er, actually, mr. professor, i would like you to detail the history of sandormokh, on the one hand, it is a story of silence, on the other hand, it is an extremely dedicated work of the historian dmitriev , who was not just arrested and talked to some sky-high term for a completely false accusation yes, but this is another story about why they so actively want to trample their own sandormo into oblivion when, for example, they

forbade ukrainian historians to investigate this topic on the spot in karelia well, first of all, i want to say once again to emphasize the huge importance of what yuriy dmytriv did, he was among those who , together with the memorial society of the city of st. petersburg, participated in the study of this place in 1997 where is the santomog tract, its name comes from the sandarmok swamp, which is there, he took part in the research of this place where these 111 1111 solovetsky prisoners were destroyed, and he worked then together with the leningrad memorial, which was headed by the genius of minyofi he is unfortunately, he died very early. he was a very

talented and interesting person, and dmitriev was actually the one who marked out this way of the cross from the city of medvezhyegorsk to this sandermov tract, and i had to meet him. that it was at this place that these shootings took place, he showed the graves that fell into these pits and one word was preserved, it was a real discovery and the past years passed by, a memorial was created there, a cross was placed in particular to the prisoners victims to the prisoners of ukraine er to the solovetsky prisoners and everything seemed to be going well, they built a museum, people from ukraine went there every year, but in 2016 yuriy dmitriev in 2015,

if i'm not mistaken, even yuriy dmitriev was careless together with iryna fliga who leads the line game led the leningrad materials memorial i hope she leads and now i don't know her fate he had uh at this annual mass gathering to speak and show solidarity with ukraine he condemned russian aggression he called uh things by their names and that's all that happened afterwards. it was actually revenge, revenge for this position of his and for the fact that he made this terrible discovery about how captain mykhailo matveev, who was entrusted by the leningrad regional administration with the destruction of these prisoners, personally carried out a personal shot about 250 prisoners every day, and dmitriev exposed this place

and for this technology, terrible technology, technology of terror, putin's regime did not forgive him for this, because you know that the current president of russia himself is from the breed of er, which means er descendants of iron feliksa and this massacre is senseless, absolutely senseless. more precisely, it became an accusation, unfortunately, and affected yuriy dmitriev, because there are not many places for such mass burials, as we have bykivnia - it is the most massive, the most massive, the most massive, such chekist, the largest chekist cemetery, where the victims of the great terror are also buried. only the victims of the great terror, but few of them have been revealed even in ukraine . in russia, but in russia there is a policy of this amnesia for the

existence of these res, and because he is stalinorized, he is portrayed as a talented manager. well, you know the organizer of victory and so on, so what dmitriev did completely destroys this resuscitation of the stalinist scheme of soviet history and serves to expose the true the nature of that totalitarian system, a system that is very, very similar to what is happening now in russia, i agree with you, mr. professor, well, i would just like to add that it should definitely be implemented a strategy, so to speak, not only of a symbolic outline of what the nkvd was, more precisely, what was the nkvd, in particular, it is about equating it in status with the criminal organizations of nazi germany, and on the other hand, i think that it would be worthwhile to live by the regulations of the relevant internal departments, in particular , it is about depriving those who other criminals who worked in this organization, which existed

at least until the 53rd fourth year of deprivation of the corresponding military ranks and special pensions, professor yuriy shapoval, a well-known sovietologist and researcher of the history of ukraine worked live on the espresso tv channel, analyzing the tragic date, today we remember the day of commemoration of the victims of political repression. ukraine, the kremlin turned out to be further from achieving the goals of the war than it was before february 24. russian propagandists of course cannot admit this and convince that from no beginning
